UPC Court of Appeal, 9 July 2025: Security for costs to be granted by Chinese claimant
16-10-2025 Print this pageIPPT20250709, UPC CoA, Chint v JingAo
Security for costs granted against claimant residing in China (Art. 69(4) UPCA, R.158 RoP).
The lack of experience in enforcing UPC cost decisions in China, does not rule out the possibility that enforcement will be burdensome.
The fact that China is outside the EU is a relevant factor. A history of litigants having difficulties enforcing judgments in China is an important factor.
The fact that China has a formal procedure to enforce judgments does not detract from the fact that this procedure can, in practice, be burdensome.
